Subject: [PATCH 1/2] HID: core: Provide new max_buffer_size attribute to over-ride the default

Presently, when a report is processed, its size is compared solely
against the value specified by user-space. If the received report ends
up being smaller than this, the remainder of the buffer is zeroed. That
is, the space between sizeof(csize) (size of the current report) and the
rsize (size provided by the user - i.e. Report Size * Report Count),
which can be handled up to HID_MAX_BUFFER_SIZE (16k).

This is an issue. In the case of some low-level drivers, the buffers
are significantly smaller than the default 16k. For instance, in the
case of uhid, the data buffer is a mere UHID_DATA_MAX (4k). Meaning
that memset() shoots straight past the end of the buffer boundary and
starts zeroing out in-use values, often resulting in calamity.

This patch introduces a new variable into 'struct hid_ll_driver' where
individual low-level drivers can over-ride the default maximum value of
HID_MAX_BUFFER_SIZE (16k) with something more sympathetic to the
interface.

While I am generally fine with the idea, I don't understand this sentence.
What exactly do you mean by 'specified by user-space'? It's defined as a
compile-time constant.

Apologies for any ambiguity.

"its size" == "compile-time constant"

Would "its maximum size" read better?

These sentences are an attempt to describe this statement:

if (csize < rsize) {
dbg_hid("report %d is too short, (%d < %d)\n", report->id,
csize, rsize);
memset(cdata + csize, 0, rsize - csize);
}

Where csize is "the [size of the] received report" and rsize is the
"value [size] specified by user-space". Thus, if user-space says the
report will be 8-Bytes (rsize) and it actually only only submits 6-Bytes
(csize), then the subsystem will complain that the "report is too short"
and it will attempt to zero the seemingly unused 2-Bytes.

I think that the confusion comes from the fact that the changelog is
written solely with the UHID usercase on mind ... ? (which is dealt with
in the independent followup patch).

Quite possibly, yes. Since this is the way the bug was reported to me
and how I presently view it. However, I suppose reports do not always
originate from user-space. Good point.

How would you like me to move forward? Would you like me to re-write
the commit log to be more generic?
